The Internet of Things is in constant growth, with millions of devices used every day in our homes and workplaces to ease our lives. Such a strict coexistence between humans and smart devices makes the latter digital witnesses of our…
LTE networks are commonplace nowadays; however, comparatively little is known about where (and why) they are deployed, and the demand they serve. We shed some light on these issues through large-scale, crowd-sourced measurement. Our data,…
Both GPS and WiFi based localization have been exploited in recent years, yet most researches focus on localizing at home without environment context. Besides, the near home or workplace area is complex and has little attention in smart…
Public bus transport systems in developing countries often suffer from a lack of real-time location updates and for users, making commuting inconvenient and unreliable for passengers. Furthermore, stopping at undesired locations rather than…
In the modern digital world, a user of a smart system remains surrounded with as well as observed by a number of tiny IoT devices round the clock almost everywhere. Unfortunately, the ability of these devices to sense and share various…
Tourist crowding degrades the visitor experience and negatively impacts the environment and the local population, potentially making tourism in popular destinations unsustainable. This motivated us to develop, within the framework of the…
